A cozy, high spice romantasy with cottagecore vibes. Sometimes sleepy village life can be too quiet. Sometimes a quaint circle of friends can be too small. Ana doesn’t want the thrill of an adventure, she just wants one man in the village who hasn’t known her since she was a baby, understands what to do if he gets her clothes off, and who her mother can’t scare away… at least not until after. Newly arrived in Petalfall, Edric doesn’t want to continue the hermit habits of his predecessor. As the Forest Guardian, he could live here for the next century or more, and fitting in is important to him. He’s always thought the easiest way to do that would be by finding a partner to ease the way… and once he sees Ana, there’s no other choice. Viggo isn’t dirty, but he is a secret for the moment. People tend to be apprehensive about Vampires—a truth he knows to his cost—and small towns come with small minds. When Edric tells him the plan, he’s open to the idea. When he finds her collecting moon berries at midnight, he’s smitten. She might be looking for a single night. They want more.

Dalia Davies fell into monster romance—almost by accident—and loves it here. She drinks her weight in tea every day and has been told on numerous occasions that she “knows too much”. She pairs old gods, monsters, and aliens with human women who get exactly what they want and maybe a little more than they came for. Brought up on fairytales read while hiding in the back stacks of her small-town library and sneaking in creature features at friends' homes, she always wanted a way to meld two fantasies into one. When not writing, she plays the banjo poorly, dreams of traveling the world, and avoids large crowds and loud noises. Living in the southwestern US, she lets the outside heat permeate her stories and hopes they leave you panting. This is, of course, a pen name. It is one of many I write under.
